THE GEORGIA MAIDSTONE
Used Successfully for Over a Hundred
Years-HoW 1t Came into the Glib
son Family OF Georgia.
Crowds OF People Flock to the Owners for
Rolief-Antiquity of the Stone
and It's Cures
Atlanta Constitution.

The recent death of q man in Banks
county who had been bitten by mad dog
has revived interest in madstones, oil
which there are several in various parts
of the state. There is one in Fairburn
which is said to have been successfully
applied to about 100 persons. But by all
odds the most notable stone in the south
is thai owned ~ Mrs. L. W. Gibson, in
COlumbia county. I derives interest
not alone from the wonderful cures
which it has affected, but from its
antiquity and the manner in which it
came into possession of the family.
In l743 vessel from the East Indies
touched the coast of North Carolina,
where the great-grandfathe of Mrs Glib
sons husband lived at the time. A pas
senger who was sick was put off and Mr..
Gibson took him to his home, where
the stranger was welcomed and nursed
back to health. When about to take his
departure he took from his pocket two
stones, one of which he presented to Mr..
Gibson, telling him that it was Of great
age, as he had been assured by the gentle
man from whom he procured it in Bonn
bay that it possessed remarkable powers
in all cases OF blood poisoning, whether
it resulted from corrosion of foreign
substances, from the bites of animals or
insects otany description, or from inocula-
ton Even in cases of smallpox, said
the stranger, the stone had been known
to extract the poison from the system,
leaving the patient thoroughly restored
to health. The stone was of a grayish
black color and perfectly smooth 1t
was one inch IN length, three-quarters Of
an inch in width and half an inch thick.
The stranger disappeared, and the stone
was laid by as curiosity to remind the
family OF it's curious guest. No faith
was placed in its medicinal qualities. IL
was not long, however, before an event
happened which brought the stone into
high repute. A member Of Mr.. GIbson's
family was bitten by rattlesnake. All
known remedies failed. The patient had
passed into paroxysms and all hope had
fed. 1t was then that one of the children
thought OF the mysterious stone. AS no
harm could be done, it was determined to
use it. An incision was made in the pa
TENTS leg one inch above the spot bitten,
and the stone inserted. As the stone ad-
hered scream of unutterable anguish

! escaped the lips of the sufferer. as Il
life itself was being drawn out. In less
! than one minute the stone had changed
its color from s dark gray to q poisonous
| looking green. 1t was pulled out anG
soaked in warm water and applied
again and again, it's adhesive power
growing less and less, until at last it re-
fused to stick. BY this time the patient
fell into heavy sleep, only to awake to
g consciousness of restored health. He
lived for thirty years after the event
happened. 1t was thus that the stone.
which was only kept as g lest. be-
came an object which money could not
| buy, From ell parts of the coast there
were calls for the wonderful stone. The
family subsequently removed to Colnm
ola county in this state, where for 100
years this stone has been an object of
curiosity to physicians and people in GEN
eral.
The recent history of this remarkable
stone is quite as strange as that of its
earlier years, curing the bites of mad
dogs and cats, the stings of scorpions
and snakes and the nOculatien of poison
Gus substances. Inl872 Abe L0ckhart, a
cOlOred man in Columbia county, was
CAL1SA ~ q HALOt ShdhS. i nc stone WAS
applied TO the bite. The wonderful part
Of the story is that the man, who had in
herited sCrofula, was cured of that
disease, and has had since no return Of
the malady. Seven years ago Snack
Green, who lived nine miles away, was
bitten by q rattlesnake When found he
was unconscious. He was put into q
wagon and driven nine miles to the home
nf d.,
TINS leg had been swollen to three times
It's usual size. As soon as the stone was
applied 1t affected the sufferer precisely
as 1t had It's first subject, over century
before. A case which attracted wide
spread attention, however, was that of
Miss Williams, who lived near the plsota-
-uon OF General Robert TOombs, in Wilkes
county. In 1888, Miss Williams was
lno2uIated from virus obtained from
mad cow. When the fact was dis
covered 1t sent q shock through the
community. The lady's friends at once
resolved to use Mrs. Gi0sOn's maidstone,
which was entirely successful in Warding
off the anticipated danger. A strange
case, however, was that of the two
Ginty of Norwood, who had
been bitten and. scratched fear
fully by mad cat. The stone was ap-
piled to the two alternately. The chill
uren were taken to the house by their
two uncles, who, sixty years before, had
been themselves bitten by mad dogs and
owed their rescue to the same source.
In fact, there is hardly commcnity in
the Caroiinas, Georgia and Alabama in
which the fame of this renowned stone
has not ben heard of. Frequently the
home OF Mrs. Gibson at Applfng
is surrounded by vehicles bearing the af-
hicted from distant points anxious to be
restored TO health

INTERSTATE COMMERCE..

WAsRINGTON, April % Before the
| interstate commerce commission this
morning. Thomas 2 Clark, president OF
the New York and New Haven Railroad
presented a petition in behalf of several
roads in New England, asking for sus-
| pension of the fourth section of the Jaw
on account of water competition at a great
| number of points. He avOwed himself 8
! believer in the bill, but did not think Con
SreSs meant to bring ruin to any of the
! business interests of the country.
! Several attorneys for trranscOntinentRl
transportation interests addressed the
commission, briefly supplementiDg their
| remarks of yesterday. Mr.. Tweed, for
the Southern Pacific, directed his atten-
ton to the protests of eastern sugar men
and of Sutton & Co. of the Cape Horn
clipper line. These protests, he said,
were based upon the assumption that the
law was passed to prevent lower rates and
to maintain high ones. He con-
tended that this was not the
purpose of the law. Roads must
have a free foot in order to protect them
selves. Were it possible for the commits
sion to fix a rate below which the roads
should not go, the steamships would
then give rates a few cents under and
thus the action of the commission would
60 for n8ught. He maintained that the
action of the commission should be
prediCated neither upon the personal
wishes OF petitioners, nor the conditions
of certain markets; but upon broader and
more general principles applicable to all
st ctions.
The commission devoted the afternoon
session to q conference with closed doors.
